The Alliance Sucks

Well, not entirely, but I have to say that I really prefer the Horde. There is far less competition for quests, and more of an appearance of being a "hero" rather than just another guy out of the 10-15 that are running around the same damned cave looking for gnoll spittle or some such ridiculous thing.

And you can't even compare the AH in Ironforge to Ogrimmar. Though I did read a rumor that they were going to extend the AH to the other major cities, at least on the Alliance side. That would be nice (for both sides).

I'd heard complaints about this sort of thing but since it'd been a couple months since I'd played my Paladin, I had though the complainers were crazy. In general, when I was on a quest with my Warlock (Undead), at most I'd run into one other person on the same quest as me. As often as not, we'd group to make our lives easier.

Now, the NE babes are hotter than anything the Horde has, I'll grant you that...

Alliance sucks, here here. The people that play alliance also are not as cool. You talk to the Horde people, theyre all in college. The people on alliance are mostly children. Horde is just a better overall experience

On horde when two guys are questing, you group. In alliance everyone is impatient for quest objectives and kill stealing.

On horde I consistently see higher lvl players leaving lowbie alliance be. On alliance if its red and there is a person behind the controls to annoy, you gank him, no matter how low level and pointless it is.

On horde players work together and listen. On alliance its every Joe public rambo out for his own glory.

On horde higher levels will help, give advice, stop what they are doing to aid lowbies being camped in contested territory. On alliance your called a noob and told to STFU and leave the server.

I started on horde, went alliance, and re-applied for horde citizenship not long after. :3

Yep, I'm horde 4 life. Briefly played alliance for a bit to test the waters, made it to 42 on a dwarf hunter and got pretty bored. If you've only ever played Horde, it's nice to explore the game from a different perspective... but overall, Horde wins. Alliance for the most part play very immaturely.

You know why Horde ALWAYS wins battlegrounds? DUH! We stick together... We know what the objectives are and if someone doesn't know, they ask and are told! OOPS, probably shouldn't have said that SUPER SECRET SECRET that NOBODY knows! Now the Alliance will stick together and we'll end up losing! NAH!!! That'll never happen.
